How to Write an Article/book

There are lots of Article’s but, are all of them good one’s? Here is what you need to know about writing article’s.

Writing article’s is not as easy as you think. You don’t even need to smart to write one. All you need is good knowledge of writing and tips you’ll need along the way to write a good one. Almost all authors write in the same way. Now this doesn’t mean they all write on the same topic, it means that when they write they all write with the same idea or method. Most authors don’t come up with a title till the very end of the book. Think about what you want to write. What topic’s do you enjoy writing about? If your not sure then, be creative. Come up with something random. Don’t rush yourself to write something because you’re in a hurry; that’ll just make you article really bad. If you’d like you could just take a piece of paper and write down some topics/ideas that come to your mind. Ask friends and family for ideas.

After figuring out what you’d like to write about it’s time to take another step. Before typing you should write your article on a paper. Have someone read it over to see what they think about it (optional). If you’re sure you’re ready to write then you’re ready to write your first paragraph. The Opening. The opening should not be too discriptive or you’ll give the whole article away. Let’s say you’re writing about Making Friends. Here are some example’s of ways to start an opening:

  1. I enjoy making new friends all over the world. Making friends is easy and fun, especially since you get to learn about different life styles of people around you.
  2. This article is about making friends, when you finish reading this article you’ll know how to make decent friends all over the world with a lot of the same likings and dis-likings.
  3. People all over the world are waiting to meet you! You’ll learn the best ways to find them and how to be a real friend!!

These are just a few of the ways that you can start your opening. Remember that the goal is to not give away the whole article but, to let your reader know what they’ll be reading about and learning. It sounds tricky and confusing but it’s very easy to accomplish.

After writing the opening it’s time for the hook. A hook is basically what attach’s the reader to you’re article. Without a hook you won’t have nearly as many readers. You’ll need a hook throughout your article. It will make your reader want to continue to read and read. If your really good at hooking then you could get hundreds of readers in just one article. If your still unsure what a hook is try reading a book series such as Goosebumps. It is usually placed at the beginning or ending of a chapter or both. Read the end of mystery book chapters and it will have a sentence or two that will make you desperate to read more and more. That’s what all the best selling authors do to get more readers. You could put phrases like:

 Not a person in the world would of guessed what happened next.

That’s when it happened.

Then just like that he was gone.

then almost instantly I was completely alone.

Those are common hook phrases that people use in books. No matter how often it is used it is very powerful.

The next step is to write ad least two paragraphs on the whole purpose of the article. Be very descriptive and specific on your topic. Don’t make each sentence too long or boring. You’ll have to make it just right. This is why i recommend you write it on a piece of paper first or on Microsoft. remember to use describing words to tell your reader everything that is needed to be known about what your writing. After finishing your article read over to decide what the name of your article will be. After completing that you’re finally ready to publish!! Good luck writing you article and remember to never give up!
